Yang Zhen watched Hua Youyue's retreating figure, took a deep breath, turned around and said to the squabbling Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken, "Let's hurry up and go see what Bone Mountain is up to."
The Shameless Cat glanced at the slightly disheveled Flirtatious Chicken, then strode confidently to Yang Zhen's side and said in a deep voice, "Kid, if what you saw when you were wandering through the world was real, I advise you to be careful."
Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked, "Why?"
"A person who can kill you with a single glance, even if not Great Saint, is at least a peak Heavenly Venerable. And that's probably not even their strongest power. Judging from what you're saying, that person's strength obviously has some limitations. Are you sure you saw a person, and not a soul or Divine Sense?"
Yang Zhen was speechless for a moment, then said, "The situation was urgent at the time, how could this 'Sage of Saunter' see clearly? But the feeling was pretty clear. If I had run even a little slower, I would have died!"
Mo Xueling was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Is there absolutely no chance of survival?"
Yang Zhen for a moment, then nodded and said, "No, not at all. It was a terrifying power I'd never seen before. Damn, even my soul started trembling."
Hua Youyue, standing ahead, trembled and turned to Yang Zhen, saying, "That's Saint Law."
"What?" The Shameless Cat's eyes widened, and he said with a look of surprise and doubt, "Little girl, are you sure that's Saint Law?"
Hua Youyue nodded and said, "Only Saint Law can make the divine soul tremble; it is an extremely powerful force that we cannot withstand in our current state."
Yang Zhen gasped and asked, "What kind of inheritance is so amazing that there's even a Great Saint guarding it? Little girl, are you sure you can get that inheritance?"
Mo Xueling and the Shameless Cat Flirtatious Chicken stared intently at Hua Youyue, their eyes filled with astonishment.
What kind of earth-shattering legacy must a legacy protected by the Great Saint be? Hua Youyue actually claims it is her legacy, and Hua Youyue's current strength is only barely on par with Yang Zhen. If they were to fight, she would be far from being Yang Zhen's match.
Yang Zhen has far too many methods, and Yang Zhen has mastered the art of combining powers that ordinary people could never even imagine.
Even with Yang Zhen's incredibly versatile power, he couldn't withstand a single glance from the Great Saint. How could Hua Youyue possibly obtain that inheritance under the protection of such Great Saint?
"Able!"
Hua Youyue spoke with absolute certainty, causing Yang Zhen and the others to gasp.
Yang Zhen looked at Hua Youyue in surprise and exclaimed, "Oh my, I'm getting more and more curious about what kind of inheritance it is that makes you so certain?"
"Kid, you should worry about your own life. With such a legacy and such a powerful figure, you'd be gone with just a glare!" The Shameless Cat sneered, its eyes darting around as if looking for another chance to slip away.
Yang Zhen picked up the Shameless Cat and said, "Are you stupid? The young lady said she's definitely going to get that inheritance, so what's there to worry about?"
The Shameless Cat was taken aback, then its eyes lit up, and it said with a sudden realization, "Come to think of it, then I don't need to go into seclusion?"
Yang Zhen looked at the Shameless Cat with a half-smile, "You can also go into seclusion, not for too long, just twenty days will do!"
"Damn it!" The Shameless Cat twisted its body. "Twenty days from now, the Forbidden Zone of Life will be long closed. What's the point of closing it then? I might as well just wait to die in this godforsaken place."
Mo Xueling stood behind the crowd, looking at Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue with a bewildered expression, her face filled with a sense of absurdity.
Such a powerful inheritance could only be touched by prodigies like Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue. The inheritance protected by the Great Saint is terrifying to even think about!
Along the way, Yang Zhen and the others saw more and more corpses, many of them newly arrived cultivators who died inexplicably on the spot, with no visible injuries. However, some of the cultivators' health plates had begun to turn red, which looked extremely strange.
Yang Zhen was horrified. He patted his chest and said, "These are the people who died here for no reason, right?"
Mo Xueling's expression gradually darkened. " The Forbidden Zone of Life has been said to be a death zone since ancient times. People die here all the time. But as you said, people die for wealth and birds die for food. Although there are many dangers here, the fortuitous opportunity and fortunes here are incomparable to those outside."
Yang Zhen nodded. "That's true. The rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures here are everywhere. In the Sea of Sin Swamp, there's even a whole field of Earth Treasury Root growing. These things have no life of their own; they're just pure death energy condensed. Such rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures are enough to drive most people crazy."
"There are people ahead!" Mo Xueling suddenly exclaimed, pointing to a deserted path not far ahead.
A group of people were cautiously making their way forward, and among them were several wounded individuals who were constantly scratching their arms.
"Let's go up and ask what happened here!" Yang Zhen called out, and was about to step forward when a huge, earth-shattering noise suddenly came from a valley ahead, so loud it shook the entire ground.
"Damn it!" Caught off guard, Yang Zhen stumbled and grabbed Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling to help them regain their balance.
The Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken rolled a long way before stopping, looking up in bewilderment and asking, "What happened? What happened?"
Buzz--!
A powerful wave of energy erupted from the valley, and countless petals rained down from the sky, each petal emanating a dense and terrifying aura that was difficult to look at directly.
petal?
How could flower petals exist in this godforsaken place?
Yang Zhen was stunned and subconsciously looked at Hua Youyue, just in time to see Hua Youyue trembling and staring blankly at the terrifying celestial phenomenon that was erupting before her.
The people in front of them also rolled on the ground like gourds. After getting up, they rushed forward excitedly, not even caring about the wounded.
"Hurry, the inheritance has erupted! It's a Saint-level inheritance!"
A gasp rang out from the crowd, and everyone immediately quickened their pace.
Yang Zhen looked around at his surroundings, his expression changed, and he looked at Hua Youyue beside him in surprise, saying, "Is it that inheritance?"
Yang Zhen was somewhat familiar with this place; the wooden house was located in the valley ahead.
Hua Youyue nodded, glanced back at Yang Zhen, and said, "Let's go take a look!"
Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, then instructed Hua Youyue, "Little girl... be careful!"
Hua Youyue nodded and said, "I can sense it; it's this aura."
boom--!
Another earth-shattering roar resounded, followed by a sudden clap of thunder in mid-air. However, no lightning appeared; instead, countless petals fell from the sky, turning into tiny stars and disappearing upon landing.
Yang Zhen was astonished. Looking up, countless petals fell from the sky like a rain of flowers, accompanied by Heavenly Sound Grand Chant and a mysterious aura that made it hard to breathe.
This aura seemed to emanate from heaven and earth, and the overwhelming might of heaven pressed down upon Yang Zhen, causing his expression to change.
The little girl is right, that's exactly the vibe.
